That is not a ghost, but the term seems to be one of the most misunderstood in the hobby.
A ghost is an different image visible on the card. Often caused by a color transfer when stacking wet sheets during printing, a light print from the printing cylinder hitting the card or more rarely an additional print pass by mistake.
What you have is a printing error caused by the sheet moving during a color pass. These are called a registration error, color shift, offset error or other terms. These have far less value normally than a ghost to error collectors. A shift really needs to be drastic or add to the beauty of the card to draw error collectors or often they actually devalue the card as it just looks blurry.
